How about this? And next hour. We'll have a conversation with Will Graves. covers all things Pittsburgh Steelers uh for the Associated Press, 'cause the Steelers they ran over the Dolphins last night. And I guess for another week people can shut the hell up.
about firing Mike Tomlin. Mike McDaniel of the Dolphins. We've talked about firing him all season. I don't care about a four-game winning streak. And now he's talking about potentially uh We're not firing.
to a tongue of lower, but telling him to go ahead sit down and take a seat. The NBA Cup is tonight, did you notice? Yeah, the New York Knicks are going to be in action against the uh San Antonio Spurs. That should be a fun one. We got a lot to get into, a lot to discuss.

You can always listen on the free Odyssey app, your local affiliate, SiriusXM375. and a smart speaker if You Have one. Can't believe NBA Cup is here, dammit. Got Christmas next week, Thursday. Year is just flying on by.
We got teams that seasons are Officially becoming a rap, they're getting cooked like the Dolphins last night.
Now we we know the same thing for the Kansas City Chiefs. It's like, damn, their season ends and And my homes goes down. It's just a There's a lot of bad things happening. This is a bad juju. In the year, Botcha, I thought this time of year was the most wonderful time.
They made a song about it. Uh not really. I think that's only for the Christmas Day. Other than that, I'm fighting for my life, trying not to break my back. from ice on the sidewalk.
Okay. Yeah, it's not the most wonderful time of the year. Unless you're Mariah Carey. Or you're a hallmark. I don't know.
Do people still buy cards anymore? Do they just send text messages? I have no idea. But uh Not the most wonderful time of the year for some individuals. We're going to get into Patrick Mahomes, as I mentioned.
We'll have a conversation with Dr. David Chow. He'll join us later on in the show. There's a lot of injuries here at the NFL or in the NFL, but this is the nature of the beast. It is the nature of the game.
People are running around outside like they're missiles, and just folks are bound to get hurt. Unfortunately, it's the cost of doing business. It is Inevitable. One thing that is not going to happen, can't say it's inevitable, but it ain't going to happen. The Dolphins getting into the postseason.
I was not here last night, but I did have a chance and an opportunity to see part of the game between the Steelers and the Dolphins. And if you watch the first half of that game, it sucks for you. Because we didn't get things picked up. until the second half. Unfortunately for the Miami Dolphins, they didn't get anything picked up Until damn it at garbage time.
In the fourth quarter, the Steelers beat the Dolphins twenty-eight to fifteen. The Steelers, well, they're sitting at the top of the AFC North, good for them with an 8-6 record. Looks like Mike Tomlin's going to have another year over 500. A lot of Steeler fans will probably want to rip their hair out about that. Too bad.
But for the Maumee Dolphins, and we'll get into the Steelers, let's also be real. We're gonna have plenty of weeks. To talk about the Steelers, okay? Oh, botcha, not really. Right at my last day's Monday, right?
Monday? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, we can talk about it casually. But there's the Steelers are going to be at the forefront.
of people's brains. for a long time. The Miami Dolphins are going to be at the forefront of people's brains. for all the wrong damn reasons 'cause they have been eliminated from the postseason, Mike McDaniel has been on the hot seat all year long despite Miami going on this uh four-game winning streak that was snapped last night. And now there's conversations about Tuatang of Aloa.
one of these fifty million dollar quarterbacks. about whether or not he's he's gonna be benched. He threw two touchdowns, two meaningless touchdowns, to Darren Waller last night in the fourth quarter. He threw another interception. And now Tuatonga Valoa leads the entire NFL with 15 total interceptions.
You can't trust this guy to do a damn thing. And so for the Miami Dolphins, what's up next for them?
Well, they take on another team that can't go to the postseason. That's Joe Burrow. And the Cincinnati Bengals. And then, even last night, watching Tour run around in the cold. He's never won a game.
Ever. in his entire NFL career, where the temperature was below, forty degrees.
Now I live in Atlanta and it's been cold as hell down here. But I grew up in the North East. You know, telling me about some damn temperatures, uh, you know. If you tell me it's 39 degrees outside, I'm going to go, okay, that that sounds okay to me. That ain't freezing my ass off temperatures, but for Tuatanga Valoa, he cannot win a game.
past that or below forty degrees. And so Tua spoke last night. And he says, Yeah, my feelings are hurt. Yeah, this sucks. Yeah, not going to the playoffs is horrific.
Listen to him. It is tough. We got to play better ball if we want to win games against good teams. And. Yeah, I mean it it's disappointing we didn't get the outcome we wanted to and everything that goes on with the playoffs, but When you start the season the way we did, You know, we made it hard on ourselves.
Yeah, I mean, is it a coincidence that Tyreek Hill goes down and the team continues to stink? Is it a coincidence that even while he was there, these Miami Dolphins they stunk? No, no, it's not. I I don't have faith in Tua. I don't.
I'm happy that he's making a lot of money. But there's always the concern that if he takes one hit, his career's over, especially given his history of head injuries and then his size. I mean, there were issues about his durability when Tuatongavloa was coming out of college, so there's not a damn thing surprising going on now, except for the fact He might have to ride The pine? What?
Well, first of all, he was sitting on that heated pond yesterday, that heated bench, uh 'cause we know Tua he does not like the cold weather. He'll tell you. Uh, yesterday, Mike McDaniel says, Man, we can't make up excuses about the cold. I don't think the weather Uh was a factor. I think their team outperformed us and uh in critical situations that we lost at the turnover battle.
which uh we were six and one winning it. They were six and one winning as well, so we we knew it would come down to that. Man, get out of here with that. ye might as well have called Tour out by name. Tua leading the NFL with 15 interceptions.
What are we doing out here? Tua can't hold on to the ball. And so to day Mike McDaniels spoke to the media. And typically, a lot of the questions surround his own job security. That's where the focus normally is.
Today, he had to answer questions about tours. job security. And he basically said that to her, He hasn't lived up to what we all expected from him. There's been a lot of things at play. I wouldn't pinpoint exactly this, that or the other.
I just know that at this stage of the season, my expectation was that we'd have a uh Uh uh better performance and you know you you look inward and you uh look at what you can control and how you can affect it Um and sometimes that's uh that that can You know, it's hard to pinpoint exactly. You just really. Um you really have a standard and when that standard is not being met Um you know, something's got to give. And uh You know, we're looking for clarity on that. Um because it's it's uh you know, not where I want it to be.
Oh, we're looking for clari.
Well, how do you find that clarity? When you have to pay your quarterback on average $53 million a season, Tua Tongovloa is one of the most he's one of the highly most highly paid quarterbacks in the entire game. Just think about that for a minute. If you're sitting around going, Oh, yeah, Dak Prescott is making more than anybody, at sixty mil a year At two is at fifty three? What are we what are we doing?
Like what what world is this? To it's not that good folks The Miami Dolphins are pretty much stuck with this guy. His contract runs through 2028. And let's be honest, Mike McDaniel, it was his job. to come through here and and and work with Tua.
Tongavalo. And so the question was asked by a reporter Okay, you said all of that b about him not living up to expectations. Are you going to put him on The bench? I know you've always said consistently you're going to play the quarterback who you think gives you the best chance to win. Is that in your mind still Dua or are you considering a quarterback change this week?
Well, I think the quarterback play Uh last night was not good enough, and so for me, um, everything's on the table. Everything is on the table, damn. That's rough.
Okay, well Tua can't be happy about that. And you're paying him all this money, $53 million a year. Zach Wilson, by the way, is the backup quarterback. You might have seen Zach Wilson doing nothing for the Denver Broncos. You might have seen him throwing interceptions for the New York Jets, and now he's just waiting for Tua Tonga Valoa to suck so he can get his next chance and opportunity.
You want to tell me that Zach Wilson is not rooting for Tua Tongavaloa's failure? I mean, even if they're friends, or even if they get along in the locker room, Zach Wilson is going to want to play. He's going to want to show that he can be a starter in the NFL and that he deserves another chance on opportunity.
So, Mike McDaniel, Tua is making all this money. He's not special? We have to have um You know, a certain standard at each position. All positions are the same. There's no one entitled to preferential treatment.
And when there's a better option, we have to, you know, it's my job to attack that. I think there's still a lot left in the day. Like I said before. 14 hours removed from the game, so... You know, I don't trivialize.
Um any decision I make, uh particularly um you know one where someone touches the ball every play.
So uh there's there's multiple things. Um that have to be thought through. But ultimately, we need to have better play at that position. There are three games left. You just came off of a four game winning streak.
Good for you. I mean, who believed in him after startin' one in six? Does it make sense to put somebody else out there? Maybe in the last game, maybe in the final game? They do have to go up to New England.
If you don't want to put two out on the field and you want to go ahead and give Zach Wilson a look, then do it then. But I see no reason With three games left in the season. Cincinnati, Tampa Bay, and New England. that you would just sit down to it. Why do you want the stress?
Why do you want the drama? I think, if anything, all you want to do is go out there and put the guy on notice. Listen, man, ain't no guarantee. that you're going to be the starter, and we may have to sit you down. He may sit him down at a half.
And maybe he says, I'm going to wait because anything that Mike McDaniel does, he's going to have to answer for it later. Why did you do that? This he's tied to Tuatonga Paloa. This quarterback is his. It's his job, it was his project, to go out there and decide and try their best to work things out.
But ultimately the Miami Dolphins have looked They look stale.
Okay, it looks stale. Ain't nothing that you're gonna do to. I was gonna say spice them up, but I think, Bacha, you touch a dolphin, it's illegal, right? You can't spice up a dolphin. No, I don't know if you work at SeaWorld.
Oh, spice up? Yeah, no, no, no, no. We can't mess with them. They're leading the dolphins. What are they?
Protected species or something? I don't know. Endangered, baby. Are dolphins endangered? Maybe.
The numbers are dwindling, I think. Oh wow Could you imagine a world with no dolphins? Miami Dolphins, yes.
Well, Miami Dolphins, yes, real dolphins. No, that'd be horrific. No, you've got to see. Save the animals. Humans out here just destroying anything.
But outside of that, Dolphins got three games left. Two's been put on notice. Yeah, you got a contract for a couple more seasons after this, but you may not see that through. But if my Mike McDaniel, I don't want the drama.
Now, we've heard it a lot. Mike McDaniel, he's been on the hot seat, but he made it through the whole season already so far. While the GM got fired, he's going to make it through the rest of the season. I'd be shocked at this point. If he's one of these coaches that get fired the day after the season ends, I don't see that happening for Mike McDaniel.
And so he was actually asked. about Stephen Ross the owner, Of the Miami Dolphins. This guy owns the Dolphins, and he owns like half of New York City as well. He got a lot of money. Mike McDaniel was asked what the owner thinks about the quarterback.
That's a unique one. Bottom line is, like everybody else, he wants to win football games, is disappointed when we don't. Um but You know, I think that the biggest thing is that my job, as he's hired me to do it, is to do the best thing for the football team.
So um a lot of times that's doing the hard thing. Um but but regardless, it's always with that same best interest in mind, which is uh what what gives us the best chance to uh wind the game, whoever the next opponent is. Oh, ain't that ain't that sweet. Isn't that sweet? Oh that sound Just go out.
Might as well kiss your boss's ass. What else is he gonna say? Yeah, he wants to win just like all of us. I well, you know what? I've never woke up.
And heard anybody say, You know what I want to do today? Loose Unless it was going to be, you know, mutually or financially beneficial. You know, going out there throwing a game. things that you're not supposed to do. But even in that case you're trying to win.
I've never heard anybody say I want to get up and lose. Stephen Ross is no different. Tuatangovalo is going to be gone one day. And I don't know when the case is going to be, but so is Mike McDaniel. I'd be shocked if he got another chance, another crack at the quarterback position to try to develop a new one.
What did you prove Ratua? That he could be accurate, that he could get hurt, but then that he can fall flat and stale, he's he's not physically gifted. It's the same Tuatanga Valo who sat in front of the media and almost for one whole month-long stretch. put his foot in his mouth, Every time he spoke, I'm not as talented as Josh Allen. He's bigger and faster and stronger.
What a way you make yourself sound like a wimp A wimpy quarterback to a Tongavalo. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but when he opens up his yap, He knows how to put his foot in. in it.
Okay, good luck to the Dolphins. Not this year because they're cooked.
Okay, good luck against Joe Burrow. And why the hell not? Put Zach Wilson out there for the season finale. I don't care about Zack or Tuatonga Valoa. But I want to see Zack Wilson throw five touchdowns in one game.
So everybody could look at two and just go. We ought to sit his ass down.
Okay, we we need to sit them down. Let's see what happens. The Dolphins' final game for the season is going to be against the New England Patriots. But they got three more games left. The Cincinnati Bengals, they are up next.
Damn, damn, damn. Good luck to them. I don't even think he's all that uh passionate. About football to stick around long term anyway. Go count your money soon, man.
Okay, anyway, to talk about the Steelers, the team that actually won, we're going to be joined by Will Graves from the Associated Press. He'll be here with us next hour. I told you about all these injuries that have gone down in the NFL. Michael Parsons out, ripped up his knee. You got Patrick Mahomes out, ripped up his knee.
We'll have that conversation with Dr. David Chow. He'll be here with us in a little more than two hours. And you know what? When we come back on the other side of the break, you know, let's continue this theme about quarterbacks and putting your foot in your mouth.
Because apparently Ben Roffelsberger He put his foot in his mouth about the Steelers. We'll hear what Ben Roffelsberger had to say about Mike Tomlin. We'll talk about these injuries. Mahomes and now Micah Parsons. Jaden Daniels is out for the year.
He ain't coming back following that elbow injury. There's a lot that we need to get into. Just getting started. It's the JR Sport Brief Show, Coast to Coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. Listen up, football fans.

On the Infiniti Sports Network. 888-710-4ISN is the number. That's 888-710-4ISSN. four I S N Man, right before we went to break, we talked about the possibility of Tua Tonga Valoa getting benched. Head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniels, said he's not living or playing up to the expectations, and he's no different than anybody else on the football team.
You ain't carrying your weight, and you could get sat Down. We'll see how things work out for Tua. Up next for the Miami Dolphins, who've been officially eliminated from the postseason. They take on another team officially eliminated from the postseason, that is the Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow.
So we'll see what happens. At least Tua, if he's benched, he won't have too much of an opportunity.
So go out there and put his foot in his mouth. It's something that he's known to do.
So we'll keep you up to date on everything with the Miami Dolphins as things continue on. Speaking of updates. How congratulations to the team that won yesterday. Yeah, the Pittsburgh Steelers actually played the Dolphins, and they beat them. They did.
Aaron Rodgers went out there and threw two touchdowns. Having himself a good old game. He looked vintage running around out there, playing in the cold. Good for him. You got these Steelers now have a record of eight and six?
They're at the top of the AFC North as the Ravens just look cooked. Right now, at this point in time, and then they were able to do it. Without TJ Watt, who I will remind you, this guy called a Needle. In the lung last week.
Okay? A dry needle. To help his blood circulation and recovery. And somebody screwed up, apparently. And so he's out.
We don't know how long he's out. But Mike Tomlin says. Yeah, I'm glad our defense still held it down. We didn't have TJ Watt, but we beat him up. We got a lot of confidence in our edge group as a collective.
And so we're not surprised when they play well. You know, we view Herbert as starter like, certainly excited about the bright side and the future of Jack Sawyer. And so like not surprised that they're able to step in and hold the standard.
Okay, that's some high praise for your uh Guy's not named T. J. Watt, but of course you s you still want T. J. Watt back ASAP, don't you?
Man also would be excited to get TJ back, and I texted him pregame just to let him know that he was missed. I'm sure he's excited about getting back around his teammates sooner rather than later. Oh yeah, you gotta tell somebody you miss em. People take that for granted. Tell some I love them and tell them you love them and you miss them if you can, okay?
It's the holiday season. Anyway. There've been a lot of people who want Mike Tomlin. To go missing as a head coach of the Steelers. They want to get him the helip one out of there.
We talked about this a couple weeks ago. You had James Harrison saying that he needs to go and come. Coaching's not good. You even had Ben Roffelsberger saying, oh, he should go over to Penn State.
Well, guess who was in the house yesterday? Ben Roffelsberger. and he spoke to the media. And he uh made a little bit of an adjustment uh on his comments. Listen to this.
I don't think I say anything negative and just 'cause I said that, you know, there's a time for like maybe some new thing, that that's just saying that I think, you know, Coach Tomlin, if he wants to move on, he has every right to want to move on. It's not they should, it's it's up to him, you know, and and he's earned that right and that um you know if he wants to go do something else, he sh he can and should and uh we should honor him when that time comes, whenever that is. Maybe he wants to coach you for another 10 years, that's mine too. Uh this is not how he posited his comments, okay? That's not what he said.
He pretty much said that they, as in both entities, it might be best for both of them apart ways and now he's standing in front of the media just going, oh no, I met Mike Tomlin. If Mike Tomlin wants to leave, if Mike Tomlin wants to move on, and then he can go ahead and do so.
Now you stand in front of the media, you sing. A different too. And that's that's one of the things with these podcasts. There's so many podcasts out now. hosted by so many athletes, saying so many things.
They they they go unchecked. There's no there's no pushback. These athletes are sitting around and they got their buddies and their buddies' buddies who are just on payroll. Everybody's happy to be there. And there's never a point in time where someone goes, you know what?
That's probably wrong. Like we get a lot of cases where you get banter and guys are screaming and arguing back and forth. But in most cases you can just say whatever you want without somebody Question you. That's called balance. That's called journalism.
And in the world that we live in right now, you can just pretty much say anything. And if you say it enough times, people will just believe you. That's the unfortunate world that we live in right now.
So I'm not surprised to hear Ben Roeflisberger try to clarify, or dare I say, even walk back his comments. It is a. Par for the course. Maybe he'll continue on with his uh Footballing Podcast. Abacha, have you ever listened to the Ben Roethlisberger podcast?
Besides for me cutting clips from it, talking about Tomlin, no. I don't. Same here. I just don't see why. Like, I get if you're a Steelers fan, you want to listen to it, but as an outside fan looking in.
Van Rosberger was good to great. He won games, but like Am I going to listen to him over I don't know, like Tom Brady or someone else? Probably not. Yeah, man, I don't give a damn. I'm not listening to Ben Roethlisberger.
I see and hear the same clips that you do. I'm like, oh, Ben Roethlisberg has said something crazy. Let's go ahead and uh and utilize that clip, but Nah, I'm not taking anything out of context. What comes out of your mouth comes out of your mouth, but. To sit down and listen to what, an hour and 90 minutes of him?
No, thank you. Decline.
So not a surprise that he spoke to the media and he changed his tune. Speaking of someone who talks to the media and says crazy things, Congratulations, Aaron Rogers Things are looking good. You know, Pittsburgh Steelers are uh looking like they're on their way to the postseason again. And Aaron Rodgers says, yeah, it's been a while since I've seen what the playoffs look like. Listen to this guy.
22, we were 4-8 at one point. We won four straight and gave ourselves a chance. Uh 23 I played four plays. 24 weren't very good.
So it's been Been a while since uh been a part of stuff like this. Nothing changes, it's just You know, I feel real comfortable. Uh in this environment. Yeah, that's what happens when you play for the Jets, or not play for the Jets, as he certainly went out there in detail. And I guess one thing he's also enjoying.
You think about this Steelers roster. There's a bunch of guys slapped together right now. The Steelers are a team in transition. Think about this: they're a team in transition. And they're still winning.
And this is one of the reasons why I feel that fans always get Disappointed their fans get upset with how things look because they don't go completely into the toilet. To come out on the other side and rebuild.
So the Steelers are eight and six. They play Detroit next. God bless them. They get a chance to go inside. Aaron Rodgers goes back up into Detroit, where he's had plenty of battles, beating them up when he was a member of the Green Bay Packers.
Detroit looking for some little get back. They just lost to the Rams, but I digress. The Steelers look good, they look fine. Aaron Rodgers used to be on the Jets. DK Metcalf used to be on Seattle.
Damn it, they just picked Adam Thielen up off the street. because he didn't want to be in Minnesota any more. And so even Aaron Rogers made it a point to say, Yeah, we're just a bunch of freaks slapped together playing football. It's kind of what I said after the game. There's some cast-offs if you look at our roster, which makes it really special.
You know, Kenny Gainwell signed a next-to-nothing contract. Um You know, Connor Hayward, an afterthought, had a touchdown run. Um You know, Mark Westman on a couple teams. Adam Thielen got cut. Samuel was on the street for a long time, so it says a lot about the character of the guys we brought in.
Oh, everybody's just a cast off. Just a bunch of nobodies, huh? What about you, Aaron Rodgers? Are you a nobody that nobody wanted? Do you consider yourself one of those cast offs too?
No, I'm not a cast off.
Okay. Alright. He's like, I'm a future Hall of Famer. Who do you think I am? Yeah, I might be older.
I got a blown Achilles. I can't run around the way I used to. I could still play, but no, I'm not a castoff. Aaron Rodgers had to clarify that one. And not like Ben Roffelsberger.
He's a He's not going to retract that statement. The guy's as full of himself as I think anybody that we've ever heard or seen. It's the J.R. Sport Brief Show here with you, coast to coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. 888-710-4ISN is the number.
That's 888-710-4ISN. You know, our producer Ryan Botry, he just mentioned. Tom Brady is someone you might want to listen to.

He had surgery immediately to repair it. You know, let's hear what Tom Brady told Patrick Mahomes. We'll do that next break.

You're listening to the JR Sport Brief.
It is the JR Sport Reef Show here on the Infinity Sports Network. 888-710-4ISN is the number. That's 888-710-4ISN. How about this? This is a good time to tell you about the Defensive Player of the Week.
Brought to you by the Navy Federal Credit Union. Our members are the mission, and this week it's Derwin James of the Chargers.
Okay, this guy went out there and took on the Kansas City Chiefs. He picked off Gardner Minshew, officially winning the game and knocking the Chiefs out of the playoffs for the first time since 2014. The Chargers are 10 and 4. And it looks like they're going to the postseason.
Now we know what happens when the Chargers get to the postseason. They can uh typically choke. Harbar second year.
Okay, let's see if things are different. you know, this go around. And with those Kansas City Chiefs officially being eliminated, we know of a bigger, larger deal in issue. Is the fact that Patrick Mahomes tour his ACL in that game. He also tour his LCL in that game.
And just bad. He's one of my favorite players to watch. I know a lot of people cannot stand the Kansas City treats. You can look at there. They all the winning that they've done over the past several years.
They were people that kind of basked in the fact that they lost in the Super Bowl earlier this season against the Philadelphia Eagles. But if you've been paying attention, you know that Patrick Mahomes had his surgery right away. They got down to brass tacks and There's a possibility, and then we'll have this conversation with Dr. David Chow later on in the show. There's a possibility that we'll see Patrick Mahomes at the start.
Of next season, typically there's a 9 to 12 month recovery process. and who wouldn't want to see? Patrick Mahomes out there. The Chiefs had done. There won't be a postseason.
There won't be a Super Bowl. I know people in Kansas City will be miserable for the next several weeks, but what are you going to do? They ain't going to the postseason?
Well Patrick Mahomes might as well start his offseason earlier, even though he has to go through all of this damn rehab. Andy Reid said, I'm not worried about him rehabbing. I know he's going to get after it. He'll attack it. And he.
Just like he does everything else. There have been some pretty good quarterbacks that have had the same injuries and have done pretty well after they came back. He'll get after it and he's got good people. here to rehab them.
Well, I mean, you talk about quarterbacks who suffered the same damn thing. Tom Brady suffered the same thing back in 2000, what, eight, 2008 season. Yeah, his first game of the season. He got popped against the Kansas City Chiefs. I think Bernard Pollard got him, and he was out for the year.
ACL and MCL. Patrick Mahomes got his ACL and LCL. And so Tom Brady been there. done that. It's what Tom Brady had to say about his rehab process fixing that AC out.
It's a tough rehab. It's one of the toughest rehabs. I just remember every day. pushing myself and you st It's always the same amount of Pain and discomfort. except you're making progress through that pain and discomfort, which is a hard psychological thing to battle, you feel like God, every day it doesn't feel right, except you're gaining range of motion and you're gaining strength, and you are on the road to recovery.
So I wish him the very best.
Okay. You wish him the best? Do you have any advice for him? What would you say, Tom Brady? The only thing you could do is focus on what's ahead of you and not look back and Just say, okay, this is part of what my career is going to be.
And a lot of people have gone through it, and a lot of people have overcome it. You've just got to put as much diligence into the rehab process. And I always feel like the faster you rehab, the faster you can get back to practicing the sport that You know, you love. I think sometimes people will pace themselves instead of training mode, they're in rehab mode. I think you got to get through rehab mode as fast as possible, and then you get back to training mode.
But that requires an all-out commitment, and it's the same commitment that. the great professional athletes make to be great at their profession. When you go through rehab process, you need that same level of focus and determination. Yeah, I mean, what do I know? I'm not a doctor.
I mean, I've watched Patrick Mahomes. You've watched Patrick Mahomes. We've seen him sprain his ankles and high ankle sprains and knees and calves, and he just. He can keep on going like the Terminator. He's just always running around and And I don't know, maybe in times he's gonna have to slow it down, but that's just It's part of his game.
It's part of what has made Patrick Mahomes great. And I think if his past injuries have been or will be any indicator, I think Patrick Mahomes is going to be fine. I I would not be surprised. If he's not out there to start next season or next September, I don't know. I'd be surprised if he was not.
Available come, I don't know. I want to say even the middle of September, or maybe even. October. Tom will tell everybody is different. All the best to Patrick Mahomes.
It's going to be time for a reset. Nothing is always going to be daisies and roses.
Sometimes you got to stomp through the crap. And make some manure so you can kind of rebuild and grow things.
So, good luck. Who to Patrick Mahomes?
Somebody else that we saw go down. It's just like, somebody else? Micah Parsons went down. And this really stinks, because the Green Bay Packers traded for him To be a massive impact piece. They traded for him so they can get over the hump and go to the Super Bowl.
I mean, having an edge rusher like Michael Parsons, if he's able to get hot. That is the type of player. Who can be a deciding factor as to whether or not your team just wins a Vince Lombardi? I mean, we can go back almost 10 years. looking at a guy like Von Miller be a a world-class wrecker at that point in time, you know, for the Denver Broncos.
So Really stinks. Michael Parsons was traded, had to deal with all that drama with the Dallas Cowboys, ultimately, got himself a new contract. and now it's it's pretty much all for naught, at least this season, I believe, for the Packers. And unlike Patrick Mahomes, the latest update is Micah hasn't had the surgery yet. Micah have the surgery yet or has that been sneaked up?
He's not, no. I I don't know. I know. Um You know He's about to have another child here pretty quick, so Um Not that that is gonna impact the specific timeline of the surgery, but He's down there dealing with that. No, I mean, it's certainly good.
I mean, you're going to have surgery before after your kid is born. The other element is, and this we can certainly ask doctor David Chow when he joins us later on, in a lot of cases they want they want any type of inflammation or swelling to go down Different strokes for different folks. We don't know the full details of what happened exactly in Michael Parsons' knee outside of, yeah, he also blew out his ACL. And so. All the best to him.
It just really stinks. For the Packers, I looked at the Packers as a wild card opportunity. I can't even say a wild card. You know, they have their offense, has its ups, its downs. You don't know who's getting the ball.
They spread it out. They've had a lot of injuries on offense.
Now they've had this big injury on defense. I I almost look at them and go Yeah, now I don't see you winning the Super Bowl. Micah Parsons on the team. I could see it. I think anybody who can see anything or understand logic or reason would understand why the Green Bay Packers their chances and odds of now winning a championship have diminished enough for me just to go Okay, I'd be surprised.
if they go to a Super Bowl. Damn it, I'd be even more surprised. If they win it, it just really, really sucks. And Matt LaFleur said, Yeah, the players, who likes this? Nobody, it stinks.
Yeah, I just I mean, that's that's life in the National Football League, and you just It's an unfortunate part of our business. Obviously, like I said the other night, you never want to see. anybody get hurt, whether certainly your own players, but even the opposition. Um it's an unfortunate unfortunate part of the game. And you just the show goes on and you find out that that very quickly.
And like I said, you just you got to find a way and you got to have a good plan. And we got a Just kind of bond collectively together and fight through it. Yeah, curtains. Curtains Curtains. Curtains Damn.
Bach, am I exaggerating? I don't feel the same way about this team anymore. I didn't have confidence in the Packers originally. I just didn't think they were healthy enough before this injury, and now they lose their best defensive player. Yeah, I I don't see it.
Unless Jordan Love becomes Superman. And I I don't think that's gonna happen. Yeah, it's curtains. Curtains, Curtain, speaking of curtains, this team is not going to the postseason, okay? It is not happening.
I'm talking about the Washington Commanders. Good for them. They just beat the New York Giants. They have a record now of 4-10. But one guy that you will not see for the remaining three games of the season for Washington.
happens to be Jaden Daniels. The Washington commanders have said Sit down and get healthy. Because this guy done been busted up. All year long, in and out the damn lineup. We saw that elbow injury where he dislocated it.
We thought it was worse. He tried to come back and he re-aggravated it. Had to deal with all types of leg issues earlier on in the season. This just not has, it hasn't been the year. For Jaden Daniels.
And now we've gotten to the point of the season. Where the NFL is like, who just needs Sundays? Or Thursdays, because we got games on Christmas. The NFL is like whatever. We got NFL games on Saturday, if you didn't know.
So, Washington is going to be in action against Philadelphia. And Jaden Daniels will not be there. He won't be there for the Thursday game against Christmas. He will not end his season in Philadelphia again, taking on the Eagles. He is finished.
Marcus Mariota is going to get the start. And earlier today, Dan Quinn gave the rationale in telling him Sit down. He wants to practice and he will practice. He also wants to support Marcus in a way that Marcus has demonstrated and helped him. And so, like, I thought that was significant.
Well, that's what is he supposed to go? Ah, whatever. I'm done for the season. I'm going on vacation. What are we doing here?
He can't do that. He only played in seven games this season. Seven. I mean, you want to talk about just how volatile the NFL can be. Just last year, at the time, rookie quarterback took his team.
To an NFC championship game. I don't think anybody looked at them and said, oh my God, they're going to go to the Super Bowl. They lost to the Eagles, as we know, who ultimately became champions, but. He he had arguably and not even arguably He had the greatest rookie season, of a quarterback. In NFL history.
He did. Flat, period. Just go look it up from his season statistics to as far as they went in the postseason. He had the best rookie year by QB ever. This year he's hurt, busted up all over the damn place.
Only seven Games. Seven games. That's it. And so good luck to him. Go out there and and get healthy.
Do like Patrick Mahomes, come back next year. Uh maybe come back a little bit stronger, put some meat on the On those bones, Dan Quinn says, Can he get better, you know, without playing these three games? Listen to this. It's hard, Scott, to do that. Like I would agree, like the best place to do it is in a game, to grow.
It's the very best. But that doesn't mean you can't squeeze every ounce of energy into the practice and working through some of the specific things that we want to do. And so that's what I would say, like we're always going to make the best decisions for, you know, the team and the player. Always going to make the best decision for the team and the player. Best decision is to keep that damn guy happy.
Or healthy, happy and healthy. Bacha, which one's more important, healthy or happy? Healthy leads to happiness. Good idea. A smart man.
Yeah, Jaden Daniels out for the rest of the season. Three games left. Patrick Mahomes done until next year. Michael Parsons done until next year. And how about somebody else done?
I'm going to tell you about somebody who just retired. On the other side of the break, also talk about the NBA Cup.
